Independent developer Studio BBB has officially launched MONOWAVE, a heartfelt puzzle-adventure platformer, out now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch — priced at £7.39 / $9.99 / €8.99, with a special 10% launch discount available for a limited time!
A Journey of Heart and Harmony
In MONOWAVE you step into the shoes of Mono, a newborn Guardian spirit born into a world where balance has been broken. The great Prism Tree at the heart of the world has lost its light, and the four core Emotions — Happiness, Sorrow, Anger, and Anxiety — have scattered far and wide. Your mission: seek them out, understand them, and bring them home to heal the land.
This isn’t a story about defeating enemies — it’s about understanding them. Each emotion grants Mono unique abilities that change how you move, explore, and solve puzzles:
Table
| Emotion | Core Ability |
|---|---|
| Happiness | Leap higher to reach new heights |
| Sorrow | Shrink down to slip through narrow gaps |
| Anger | Unleash powerful wall-kicks to climb sheer surfaces |
| Anxiety | Move with care to traverse dangerous terrain safely |
Every emotion evolves as you progress — after facing each Emotion Spirit, you’ll unlock a second, enhanced ability, expanding your puzzle-solving toolkit even further.
A Living, Emotional World
What makes MONOWAVE truly special is how the world itself responds to your state of mind. Across your journey, you’ll meet 18 unique Spirit characters, each one reacting differently depending on which emotion you’re expressing — creating over 72 possible interactions that can open up new paths, reveal secrets, or change how puzzles unfold.
The adventure spans two vast, beautiful regions — from the frozen depths of The Somber Trench to the gravity-defying wonder of The Blissful Islands — plus eight hidden stages waiting to be discovered by those who explore every corner.
- Play solo or bring a friend in local co-op (Steam also supports Remote Play Together)
- A wordless, touching story told entirely through expressive art and animation
- Stunning scratch-art-inspired visuals paired with an evocative original soundtrack
- Full language support including English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Russian
